Postdoctoral Research Positions
Ölveczky lab - The Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, The Center for Brain Science, Harvard University
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in Dr. Bence Ölveczky's lab in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology and the Center for Brain Science at Harvard University. Research in our lab focuses on the principles and mechanisms used by neural circuits to generate complex, learned behaviors. We are predominantly using the songbird as our model system, but have recently started to explore the neural underpinnings of complex motor learning in rodents. Given the interdisciplinary work in the lab, qualified candidates from a variety of backgrounds (neuroscience, biology, mathematics, physics, computer science, and engineering) are encouraged to apply. Applicants should have obtained a PH.D. or an equivalent degree at the time of employment. The position can start right away. Interested applicants should email Dr. Bence Ölveczky a curriculum vitae, a one-page summary of research experience, a one-page summary of future research interests directly to Dr. Bence Ölveczky via email at olveczky@fas.harvard.edu.
Sanes lab - The Center for Brain Science, Harvard University
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in Dr. Joshua Sanes' lab in the Center for Brain Science at Harvard University. The applicant will have an MD or PhD, some postdoctoral training, and extensive familiarity with methods for histological analysis of rodent nervous system, and genotyping of transgenic mice. He or she will help in the design of novel transgene constructs for analysis of neuronal structure and function, survey transgene expression in a large set of transgenic mice, establish and trouble-shoot genotyping protocols, establish and manage a database required to collect and codify histological images.
The position can start right away. Interested applicants should email Dr. Sanes a curriculum vitae, a one-page summary of research experience, a one-page summary of future research interests directly to Dr. Sanes via email at sanesj@mcb.harvard.edu.
Zhang lab - The Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, The Center for Brain Science, Harvard University
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in Dr. Yun Zhang’s lab in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology and the Center for Brain Science at Harvard University. Research will focus on function of neural circuits and regulation of behaviors.
Strong background in molecular biology, genetics, quantitative analyses and biophysics are preferred. Qualified applicants should have obtained a PH.D. or an equivalent degree at the time of employment. The position can start right away.
Interested applicants should email Dr. Yun Zhang a curriculum vitae, a one-page summary of research experience, a one-page summary of future research interests and arrange three letters of recommendation sent directly to Dr. Yun Zhang via email at yzhang@oeb.harvard.edu.
